Susie Tate Projects

“You realise there are people who will help you and give you encouragement and just a bit of normality…” – About Being group member, and stroke survivor

Susie Tate is a freelance dance artist working in healthcare, education, and community settings. Her work explores how we move and experience the world. Susie’s projects particularly focus on dancing for health, discovery, education, recovery, connection, and creativity.

Susie currently works with adults living with long-term health and neurological conditions including Parkinson’s and the effects of stroke. She also works with children who have physical and/or learning disabilities using a sensory, child-centred approach. In all of Susie’s projects, there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’: whether big or small, all movement is equally valuable.

“The work we have completed with Susie has been extremely beneficial for all the children within our class. Susie is an outstanding practitioner who is passionate about her work. She brings joy and happiness with each visit, which is reciprocated by the children who are fully immersed in the sessions.” – Teacher, Hexham Priory Special School
